My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Rico! This gorgeous, roughly 1.5 yr old, 65 lb, neutered male, Shepherdy / Heinz 57 is great with big humans, little humans and dogs of all sizes. Rico has also adjusted quickly to his foster family's cat. He has exceeded all expectations on camping trips, beach outings, coastal trail walks and visits to cafés where he's become a favorite among the human Puppuccino makers. Rico loves to swim, and run...or rather lope. To watch Rico lope, with his beautiful coat flying in the wind, is a thing of beauty. It's just a matter of time before Rico's new family has a phone full of Rico pics and running videos!

Rico is looking for an active home that can meet his needs for daily exercise, and where he will be a central part of the family. Walks, runs, hikes, swims - he's pretty much up for whatever you are! He came to us with separation anxiety, but his foster has helped him figure out, his family does return and he can now be left alone for 3-4 hours which will increase over time. Rico would likely cue well off of a family dog who doesn't get nervous when his/her people leave, so factor that in if you are interested!

Rico is up to date on vaccinations, is microchipped and has a clean bill of health. If this hunk of a guy sounds like a good fit with your situation please fill out the PACC application below and we will be in touch once it's received.
